Hiho fellow jungle reader,
do you know those weeks were you can't collect too much energy to put it in a miniature? Those days were you still grab your brush and bring some colour on a model that doesn't come from the heart? Need a break but still don't want to miss the hobby stuff while the day pass by? Here comes your chance - something completly different from the usual miniature related stuff, but with assured fun massive fun factor:
EXPLANATION/FOREWORD
Go deep inside your soul to make sure the car you'll build and paint is THE Vehicle you will be driving to show off in the nuclear deserts.Your own vision is the thing we wish for.
If you really have no idea what i am talking about i would recommand taking a closer look on the great movies of MAD MAX:
This one is also a good introduction i guess! Here are some more links: MAD MAX, or some CALIFORNIA LOVE, some modern day Mad Max cars or just simply some more Mad Max!
DETAILS
Choose a car kit in Scale 1:24, 1:35, 1:48 which fits to your character and just give it your vision of your own MAD MAX car!! You can easily influance the mood of your car by choosing totally different kits, for example 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 and 6 and 7 :)
The car kits are not that expensive in these scales but with your conversion it will be something very unique and worth tons of horse power. For example this car costs about 14,16 € (~21 USD) in Scale 1:24. I will add some shop links now where you can get your car if you don't have a hobby store near your place:
www. Modellautohaus.de
www.ModelCars.com
Plastic Model Retailer
www.sockelshop.de
I won't do some more. I guess you can easily find what you are searching for in the depths of the internet. Also check out ebay, there you can be blessed by Fortuna.
RULES
What you got to do
- Build up your personal MAD MAX car or motorcycle and paint it.

JUDGING
The judging panel is only me.
I collect your entries, will prepare a big gallery and those who catch my eye and hit right on the spot will be the winners. Simply, but effective and accurate in time.

Hiho fellow jungle reader,

Need a break but still don't want to miss the hobby stuff while the day pass by? Here comes your chance - something completly different from the usual miniature related stuff, but with assured fun massive fun factor:
EXPLANATION/FOREWORD
Imagine yourself in the far future.
The economics of nature died long time ago in the final hour of the planet. Earth's death is unavoidable, the heavens burnt after a nuclear disaster, it's just a matter of time until all will be gone. You were born in these days and everything you have is a car with power, riding down the deserts, 200 miles an hour singing YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRR!!!!
Now my question is:
What would your own individual post-apocalyptic vehicle/car/motorcycle look like?
Go deep inside your soul to make sure the car you'll build and paint is THE Vehicle you will be driving to show off in the nuclear deserts.Your own vision is the thing we wish for.
Describtion Addition:
- Please get us right: Go deep inside your soul to make sure THIS will be the car you will be driving to show off in the nuclear deserts.Your own vision is the thing we wish for. The car has to look like what your person is like in the far future. Are you a deer hunter? A Traveller? A Collector? A Warrior? A Bandit? A Family Guy? A Warlord? A small simple guy? A scientiest? A Lady? A Punk? An spiritual travel monk? A dog catcher? Imagination is endless!!

YEAHHH! YOU CAN COUNT ME IN - and my FEARED FLAME CRUSHER!!!
PUT THE PEDAL TO THE METAL!!!
Great Idea!
Did I understand it right, that it's all about building? So it needs not to be painted?
@Poom
Sorry for the weirdnes in the post - thansk for helping me clean it up - this is a quote out of the text above:
"Take photos of your finished converted and painted car and sent it to..."
I did add the information more clearly now!
ups i must have been too exited to read it clearly.
Now I need to keep my eys open to find the perfect ride for my future self :D
I love the idea! I wish I had the time to work out a project myself however I have so much else going on that I myself am unable.
I have posted links on my website to share it further!

Can I convert/paint a 1:43-50 car? I will leave out the crew and of course build a new one for this competition!
I love the frying pan strapped to the side of your car Roman. These sorts of characterful additions really bring minis alive, by helping them to tell a story.
hi there
that frying pan is the coolest LOL
one question
there will be some regional limit? or I can participate even if I live outside Europe
Great! I have couple of 1:24 models that I wanted to convert either to junkers or mad max type vehicles for a long time... now I have motivation to do that.
Will a medium size gatling gun on the hood be a problem??? If so I can do without.
And what do you mean by "no damage"??? I imagine the cars in the postapocaliptic future to be quite out of shape...
I'm in. So are other wastelanders..
Hollander
I am in:)but question can I use first world war wheel armoured car as base?
@Mo
There is for sure no regional limit, i would have mentioned this :)
@Marcineczeko
That medium sized Gatling Gun sounds fine. No Damage just means your car should not show off in thousand ways to kill people, it is more about how it can protect, keep you alive and support you with its equipement... damage on the car is for sure needed...
@LegionoftheCow
Muchas Gracias!
@Pil
I've added the scale 1:48 to the rules update - check it out here:
http://massivevoodoo.blogspot.com/2011/01/rules-update-10.html
Hi I think I'll have a go at this! Looks like fun. Just wondering on how I would submit my finished piece to you guys. Thanks.
Hi,
Jar you said no warfare vehicles like tanks and such but does military transport fits in the rules?I mean this truck:
http://modellbau-universe.de/uploadfilesNew/original/trumpeter-tru-751006.jpg
@Max
Submittion: Just sent a photo via mail - described in the text above!
@EdE
That would be fine! Hell yeah!
@Jar
I was hoping a little that you'll say no 'cos it's a really big 1/35 kit with tons of tiny pieces...But this competition gave me some motivation do undust the box and have a go at it!But at least I have some months to do it:D!
Nice progress on your car there Roman!!! I love the surfing board... Yeah even in postapocaliptic world you need to have some fun!
IIf you don't mind I attached a link to some of my older work... maybe it will help inspire people to build something interesting...
http://s3.zetaboards.com/The_Ammobunker/topic/7155013/8/
I will start my work on my car very soon... have lot's of ideas!
Great Competition!
Are Halftracks allowed? Because they are not exactly tanks...
Hi
Las week I finish a Mad Max car at 1:24!!!
I will send you pictures of it!
Regards
@Ede
Halftracks are ok, no fulltracks :)
@Luis
That'll be great, looking forward to recieve your car :)
where can i see the finished cars? thanks:)
@Anonymous
The entries will be shown in an extra gallery here on MV after April the 15th 2011 :)
Thank you
ehmm..
a boat? can i built a boat?
..You know..like one in Pirat-WaterWorld style =D
..on sea.. a lot, a lot of sea
Nyariel
@Nyariel
Uhm, nope a boat does not fit in the describtion and the rules. We can think about another Mad Max Boat Contest in 2012 :) - No, sorry!
Ok :D
2012 is not a problem..i think
..You know..end of calendar, a lot of water on earth ;)
2012..it's ok :D
Regards
Nyariel
Hi! Roman, when you say no miniatures, do you also exclude (human) skeletons or parts of them?
Cheers
Skeletons are fine :)
Hi man, finally a good competition.
I saw that it was ok to use a minigun, is it ok to use a "self-loaded 20-30 mm cannon" in the passanger seat? For who need passangers anyway?
Cheers
Mmh... a cannon sounds big. No big guns allowed. Small weapons, max. to a minigun are allowed, but hey just do it if this is your choice and vision, your car won't be judged because of its weaponry :)
"- Everyone can take part, except for myself. Anyone who takes part of the Ape Family is not allowed to show WIP photos."
So, I cant publish WIP photos on my blog/forum, right?
@Lukasz
Yessssss - You can!! That means if a member of Massive Voodoo wants to take part he is not allowed to show photos...
Ok. Thanx, maybye someone find here some inspiration :)

Darf auf der base ein geschütz sein?
(also ein nichtmehr funktionfähiges und kleiner als das auto.)
Gruß, Behemoth
@Behemottyrant
Yep, beside your car there can be pirate ship with hundreds of cannons if you want it so for your sorrounding... the "weapon rule" is about your car, not the environment...
